[Verse 1]
Morning on the river
Wind in my sleeve
Chicago on my shoes
And I just breathe
Corner cafe smiles
Fresh bread in the air
I take the long way
'Cause I love it there
[Pre-Chorus]
Every block feels alive
Every face feels new
Sun on the glass
And I’m with you
[Chorus]
Chicago, I’m walking
(Chicago, I’m walking)
Chicago, I’m smiling
(Smiling, smiling)
The day feels open
I love this city
Chicago, I’m walking
And I feel pretty
[Verse 2]
Crosswalk conversation
Bike bells in time
Kids on the sidewalk
Laughing in line
Coffee cups clink
At the corner door
I keep on wandering
Wanting more
[Pre-Chorus]
Every block feels alive
Every face feels new
Sun on the glass
And I’m with you
[Chorus]
Chicago, I’m walking
(Chicago, I’m walking)
Chicago, I’m smiling
(Smiling, smiling)
The day feels open
I love this city
Chicago, I’m walking
And I feel pretty
[Bridge]
Take me past the windows
Take me through the square
Hands in the warm breeze
I don’t need anywhere
Just this gold afternoon
Just this easy glow
Chicago in the daylight
I never want to go
[Final Chorus]
Chicago, I’m walking
(Chicago, I’m walking)
Chicago, I’m smiling
(Smiling, smiling)
The day feels open
I love this city
Chicago, I’m walking
And I feel pretty
